What's Shakin'?

Price Protectr was recently featured on Tech Closeup! The piece came out really well and answers a lot of questions about what we do, how we got started, and even how we work with the retailers. Check it out, pass it on to your friends, and let us know what you think!

We're always looking for ways to get more great deals out into the hands of Price Protectr users. When we first launched, all we offered was price protection. Over the past year and a half we've expanded to add price watching & targeting, deal alerts, price drops of the day emails, RSS feeds, and more -- all features to help you find the best deals and keep more money in your wallets.

Prices tend to drop quite a bit right around the holidays and we wanted another way to highlight all the great sales - so we launched LightningSale.com. It covers seven of the most popular categories of consumer electronics; HDTVs, digital cameras, camcorders, GPS devices, blu-ray, memory & storage, and gaming.

Each section highlights the most recent price drops in that category and even gives it a "Lightning Score" so you know how good of a deal it is without having to do any math!

Just like the sales on Price Protectr, the prices for these items can go back up any time, so jump on a deal if you find something you like! And, of course, all the category pages have RSS feeds so you can peruse the price drops using your favorite feed reader.

So check out LightningSale.com and let us know what you think! Hopefully we can help you and your family save some money this holiday season.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from everyone here at Price Protectr.

Price Protectr has been working on a site re-design for some time now, and it should launch soon. We may give people a sneak preview--let us know if you want to be one of the first to see the new design when it launches, and tell us what you think of the new logo below.

Meanwhile, don't forget to check out our Facebook Fan page, download our Toolbar for one-click coupons and savings (it hides automatically when you're not using it), and tell your friends how to save money while holiday shopping and all year long!

Recently, we've heard from a lot of sbcglobal.net users that they've stopped receiving our messages. We're trying to resolve this issue with AT&T, but in the meantime we encourage you to sign up for Price Protectr with a non-sbcglobal email address. If you don't have another address, we recommend signing up for a free Gmail account. You can even set up your new Gmail account to forward to your sbcglobal address automatically.

If you've been using Price Protectr with an sbcglobal email address and have stopped receiving emails, please send us a note and we can update your email to a non-sbcglobal address.
